Man found dead in stream near Joliet

BILLINGS, Mont. -- Carbon County officials say the body of a 21-year-old Joliet man was found in a stream where he had gone fishing and his death has been ruled a possible drowning.

Undersheriff Dan McJunkin tells KTVQ-TV that the parents of Ryan T. Schulz called authorities Saturday evening when he did not return from a fishing trip. Searchers found his body at about 7:30 a.m. Sunday face down in 18 inches of water in a stream between Joliet and Rockvale.

McJunkin says an autopsy was conducted and authorities are awaiting toxicology results. He says there is no foul play suspected.
